ahhhh
I hate waking up at the wrong time of a good dream.
I dreamed I was racing Lamborghinis last night and did well. My problem was that I bought one for $120,000 and was trying to figure out how to get it home and inform my wife about it, and hide the cost.

I bought my first Harley w/o clearing it with my spouse.
I hid it in my bosses garage for two weeks until I couild find that perfectly romantic moment to say..."Baby, we have a new addition to the family..!" I took her to Niagara Falls with plans to tell her up there. We walked over to the Canadian side for a wonderful dinner and on the return trip, I stopped her on the border. As I saw it, if she reacted to nuclear, I could always seek spousal asylum in Canada? Right? 
As it turned out, she was sooo happy at being at the Falls, I could not bear to break the news..so, I wimped out and told her when we got back to Alabama. I only had to sleep in the gargage for two weeks? Not bad punishment, IMHO. 
When I decided to purchase a Vette, she was over the "what's that idiot going to do next" phase and she went with me to pick her up. We are heading to the C5/C6 Bash on Wednesday. See you there!

..can cause irreparable harm. Here's my story...
Last night, I dreamed I was out on the town in my Y2K Vert.
Not sure how, but I ended up at the drag strip with a wonderful new set of super wide, sticky, drag radials on a chromed set of CCW 505s? Where did those come from? I went to the front of the line somehow and the drag strip folks staged me with a new red Viper with an ugly top. This was to be my first run. I remembered that someone said a Viper was faster than my Vette? As I sat looking at the "tree", I worried about letting everyone down...letting all the Vette lovers down! 
At least I remembered to leave the traction control button engaged! Then, my motor died and the DIC lit up with 100 current codes and a dozen history codes that I cleared and ignored? WTF...? 
Several Corvette repairmen (where did they come from? They seemed to be folks from this Forum?) came to my aid and immediately pulled my motor...from the top? They did it so fast, too? I waited anxiously for the results...like someone waiting on news of a friend's serious surgery.
The chief repair person came out of the OR with a handful of metal shavings that he had scooped from my oil pan! 
"We can fix it", says he with a grin. I asked him if this was a good time to pray or merely seize the opportunity to insert a new 427? He smiled a knowing smile and motioned toward new GMPP BB crate motor and a box that contained dual Paxton turbochargers!! 
I was stunned to say the least. My Vert was bone stock except for Window Valet and a set of Borlas and now I was into serious mods? The Viper was still waiting at the "tree" for me to return. And, he was annoyingly revving his puny axx V-10. "Let's do it", says I and the Nascar Corvette team slammed the new LSX in my car and pushed her back without busting my rocker panels. That sweet monster motor roared to life with a touch of the key for they had added a new redtop battery and repaired my computer that was damaged due to a Delco leak..what a bunch of swell guys! I pulled to the start line again with a new, turbo-charged BB that dynoed 800+ hp and 850 ft/lbs of torque, LT headers, an X-pipe and electric cutouts! I was prepared to give that s.s.o.s. Viper a run for the money...and suddenly...DIC said..."shut off motor and wait 10 seconds"! 
In 10 seconds the race woud be over! 
It was only a quarter mile!!! Then, the column locked up and ... I woke up!
Reading this Forum is affecting my sleep patterns. For all you Noobs out there...beware. It is addictive and the stuff that nightmares are made of... dxmn Vipers!!!
